SHERFORD OPEN GARDENS 2025
This year marks an exciting new chapter for the popular Open Gardens event in Sherford.
For the first time, all seven participating gardens are located within Sherford's new community, offering visitors a unique opportunity to see how residents have created incredible outdoor spaces in their new gardens. The Open Gardens event this year is designed to showcase creative solutions and inspire other new homeowners.
Sherford Community Trust has provided a gazebo, and the Sherford Over 50's Coffee Club will be serving refreshments with assistance from the Sherford Community Church. These refreshments will be available at the Community Hub on Hercules Road, which will also host the plant stall.
The event represents a true community collaboration, with proceeds benefiting St Luke's Hospice, which has raised more than £590,000 through their Open Gardens scheme over the past 15 years.
